Book Cover & Preview Text
Once upon a time there was a baby chicken with no feathers on its wings. He tried to be like the other chickens but they didn’t accept him. He didn’t seem to belong and was sad.
One day he wandered into the woods, sat on a rock beside a pond and began to sulk.
He was very sad.
Then he heard a voice. “Why are you so sad little bird?”, asked a low rough voice coming from the water. The chicken looked down and saw what appeared to be a frog covered in warts.
The chicken was startled and answered, “Well you see I am sad because all the other chickens won’t accept me because I have no feathers on my wings”.
